On a more serious note, the issue I've come across most is photographers claiming they couldn't do the photography they wanted without FF, when they damn well could, just fine, with APS-C, but a few outspoken folks had convinced them otherwise. I don't think we have any of those on this list, but they are abundant on that other forum. I've had non-photographers ask me about what DSLR they should buy to take better photos of their kids, who felt bad they were slumming by buying an APS-C camera because they'd read on the Internet that FF was a requisite for taking good photos. THAT is what annoys the hell out of me, John, not you *wanting* a FF.
